JA: I've seen players that let you double size of player and media still stays within aspect ratio.

15:27:51 [kford]

GL: Do we want the user to be able to make the actual video larger but not at the cost of losing something else e.g. cropping or scaling that loses the aspect ratio.

15:27:58 [mhakkinen]

User has the ability to adjust the size of the content within the playback viewport, with the option to preserve aspect ratio and to adjust the size of the playback viewport to avoid cropping.

15:29:28 [mhakkinen]

User has the ability to adjust the size of the content within the playback viewport, with the option to preserve aspect ratio and to adjust the size of the playback viewport to avoid cropping, within the limits of the containing viewport.

15:33:32 [kford]

More discussion about scaling, size. Some video may only be scalable by certain sizes.

Kim suggested "User has the ability to adjust the size of the content up to the full height or width of the containing viewport, with the option to preserve aspect ratio and to adjust the size of the playback viewport to avoid cropping, within the limits of the containing viewport."

15:38:00 [kford]

JS: I'm not sure at AA we need an option to preserve aspect ratio as an option.

15:38:46 [kford]

JA: Default is that aspect ratio is always preserved. User can turn it off.

15:39:03 [kford]

JS: This means developer has to add ability to turn this ability of preservation off.

4.8.1 Configure Position: For graphical user agent user interfaces with toolbars, the user can add, remove and configure the position of user agent user interface controls on those toolbars from a pre-defined set of controls. (Level AAA)

17:44:28 [jeanne]

When the user has the ability to arrange interface controls, the interface becomes flexible enough to meet the needs of people with disabilities, including cognitive disabilities.

17:44:28 [jeanne]

Example:

17:44:28 [jeanne]

A user with cognitive disabilities can create a toolbar that contains only the functions they need without other components that could distract. The user agent provides a dialog box with a list of available components that users can choose to add or remove from a toolbar, and organize in any order. The dialog box and controls are programmatically available to assistive technology and can be operated by keyboard via cut and paste.

Error recovery is an important support for users with cognitive disabilities and for users who may not be able to see changes to the interface. A user making changes to a toolbar configuration needs a simple ability to reset the toolbar to the default configuration and start again.

17:44:57 [jeanne]

Example:

17:44:57 [jeanne]

The dialog box for creating toolbar has a keyboard accessible button at the bottom labeled "Reset".

17:52:15 [kford]

4.6.2: Find Direction:

17:52:17 [kford]

Intent:

17:52:19 [kford]

Searching in any direction from the current point of focus allows for maximum flexibility in allowing the user to easily locate the text used in the search.

17:52:21 [kford]

Example:

17:52:22 [kford]

A user has been reading through a web page and wants to quickly locate a phrase previously read. When opening the browser’s page search feature, the user has options to search forward and backward from the current location. If the search reaches an endpoint in the document, the user is notified that the search has wrapped around, such as with an alert box or other indication.

17:52:24 [kford]

Resources:

17:52:25 [kford]

4.6.3 Match Found

17:52:27 [kford]

Intent:

17:52:28 [kford]

The user should be alerted of a successful search and be able to easily view the successful search and related text.

17:52:30 [kford]

Example:

17:52:31 [kford]

When a successful search happens within a document, the viewport scrolls so the user can read at least the surrounding sentence. The user can also quickly initiate a search for the same text if the match in question is not the desired instance of the found text.

17:52:35 [kford]

Resources:

17:55:13 [jallan]

18:01:28 [jallan]

...instance of the found text.

18:04:26 [greg]

For intent of 4.6.2: It is important to provide explicit feedback when a search reaches the end of the document and starts again from the beginning, or vice versa, so that a user who cannot easily see scroll bars and other passive feedback mechanisms does not end up searching through the document over and over again without realizing it.

Re Simon's 4.6.1, "search within rendered content for text and text alternatives" makes it sound like you're search FOR rather than WITHIN the text.

18:13:16 [jallan]

Since there is debate over whether searching within a selection should be an SC, a compromise is to make it a best practice discussed in the Implementation document, rather than an actual SC.

18:42:54 [jallan]

For implementation.. It is recommended that the user also has the ability to search forward or

20:53:36 [trackbot]

Created ACTION-307 - Put the Conformance proposal into the document for further discussion. [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2010-03-04].

20:58:39 [greg]

I'm concerned that, while the Conformance Claims section allows listing SC that are inapplicable to the UA, the Conformance Requirements section does not provide for any exceptions, including on the grounds of inapplicability (e.g. stand-along systems that don't allow addiiton of assistive technology).

20:59:16 [greg]

Therefore we're discussing modifying Conformance Requirements to include wording about exceptions where SC are inapplicable.

21:00:26 [greg]

See ISO 9241-171 for example wording: Conformance with this part of ISO 9241 is achieved by satisfying all the applicable requirements and by the provision of a systematic list of all the recommendations that have been satisfied. Any requirements that have been determined not to be applicable shall also be listed, together with a statement of the reasons why they are not applicable.

21:01:59 [mhakkinen]

JA: A UA could say we don't do TTS and the AT vendor could claim conformance, when there SR is used with the UA.

21:04:06 [mhakkinen]

KF: what does saying "it works with JAWS" really mean?

21:06:27 [greg]

Conformance claim would ideally distinguish whether compliance with a success criterion is available (a) by default, (b) with configuration changes that can be made through the product or the platform, (c) with separate software (e.g. Firefox add-in).

Users can also benefit from a report on compliance with constellations or sets of success criteria, which could help them distinguish whether it was accessible to people with their needs (e.g. great on keyboard, even if lousy on screen reader access).

The objective of these success criteria is to allow the user to customize the specified speech characteristics to settings that aare appropriate to the way the user needs to consume the audio information. Users may need to increase the volume to a level within their range of perception for example. Users may also wish to increase the rate of synthesized speech because they can understand...

21:39:45 [kford]

...it at a faster rate than the author-defined rate.

21:39:47 [kford]

Example:

21:39:48 [kford]

A telephone based web browser starts reading back a web page. The user can press a key to increase the rate at which the information is read back. Similarly, the user may be using this telephone browser inaa noisy environment such as a crowded subway. With a key press the user can quickly increase the volume of the speech being heard.

Intent of Success Criterion 3.7.1:

21:42:20 [mhakkinen]

User agents can render audio from a variety sources, and in some cases, multiple audio tracks may be present

21:42:20 [mhakkinen]

on a single page. Screen reader or self voicing browser users may encounter content where the presentation

21:42:20 [mhakkinen]

volume of an audio track makes it difficult to hear the text to speech synthesis of their screen reader or browser.

21:42:20 [mhakkinen]

Users should be able to globally set the volume of audio track globally, rather than having

21:42:22 [mhakkinen]

to adjust the volume of each audio track player.

21:42:25 [mhakkinen]

Examples of Success Criterion 3.7.1:

21:42:26 [mhakkinen]

A user agent provides a master audio volume control that applies to all audio tracks rendered from content. The user may

22:13:24 [kford]

Example:

22:13:25 [kford]

The speech synthesizer incorrectly pronounces the last name of a user. A dictionary allows the user to enter a spelling of the name that produces the correct pronunciation from the synthetic speech.

22:13:27 [kford]

Links within Web content can result in actions that may change context, open new browser windows, or result in downloads of content or media that the user cannot view. The intent of this criterion is to provide sufficient information to users identify the purpose of a link, the type of content to be linked to, and whether the content will appear within the current viewport or open in a new viewport.

22:46:11 [mhakkinen]

Examples of Success Criterion 3.13.1:

22:46:11 [mhakkinen]

A user encounters a link on a product support Web site that identifies that more information is available regarding the use of a product. The link content indicates the information is in a document format that is not familiar to the user, and that it will be opened in a new browser Window. The user finds a second link indicating that the same information is available as an HTML page, and will be viewed in the current browser window.

Revised 3.13.1:

22:48:02 [mhakkinen]

Guideline 3.13 Provide link information.

22:48:02 [mhakkinen]

3.13.1 Basic Link Information: The following information is provided for each link (Level A):

22:48:02 [mhakkinen]

(a) link element content,

22:48:02 [mhakkinen]

(b) link title,

22:48:03 [mhakkinen]

(c) technology type: of the linked Web resource,

22:48:05 [mhakkinen]

(d) internal/external: whether the link is internal to the resource (e.g., the link is to a target in the same Web page),

22:48:08 [mhakkinen]

(e) new viewport: whether the author has specified that the resource will open in a new viewport.

22:48:10 [mhakkinen]

Intent of Success Criterion 3.13.1:

22:48:12 [mhakkinen]

Links within Web content can result in actions that may change context, open new browser windows, or result in downloads of content or media that the user cannot view. The intent of this criterion is to provide sufficient information so that users may identify the purpose of a link, the type of content to be linked to, and whether the content will appear within the current viewport or open in a new viewport.

22:48:17 [mhakkinen]

Examples of Success Criterion 3.13.1:

22:48:19 [mhakkinen]

A user encounters a link on a product support Web site that identifies that more information is available regarding the use of a product. The link content indicates the information is in a document format that is not familiar to the user, and that it will be opened in a new browser Window. The user finds a second link indicating that the same information is available as an HTML page, and will be viewed in the current browser window.

3.9 stylesheets

22:48:57 [kford]

Intent:

22:48:59 [kford]

CSS stylesheets allow for extensive customization of the rendering of web content. Such customization is frequently used to make web content accessible to a wide range of user needs. These success criteria ensure that users of web browsers can fully take advantage of the stylesheets offered by web authors of that the users have created.

22:48:59 [kford]

Example:

22:49:00 [kford]

A user finds yellow text on a black background easiest to read. When a web site is loaded, the user agent alerts the user that the web author has created several stylesheets for the web site. The user selects a stylesheet named yellow on black from a menu in the user agent listing all available stylesheets. The web content is then rendered using this stylesheet.

22:52:24 [kford]

On a shared computer a web site is rendered with black text on a white background that is normally in full color. The user agent notifies the user that a user-defined stylesheet has been applied to the web page and the user easily disables this stylesheet. The web site is now rendered in full color.

23:03:45 [mhakkinen]

Examples of Success Criterion 3.13.2:

23:03:45 [mhakkinen]

Users may not readily determine, from link content or context, that the target page has already been visited. A user agent may indicate through color, or in the case of a self-voicing browser, through a spoken announcement, that a link has been previously visited.

23:03:45 [mhakkinen]

A user is deciding whether to download the lite or full version of a new browser plug-in. Because the user is on a mobile internet connection, download time and cost is a significant concern. The link to each download provides the size of the file, allowing the user to decide which should be downloaded.

23:03:46 [mhakkinen]

A student is searching for research articles in cell biology. An article of interest provides and english summary on the author's Web site, but the link to the full article indicates that the content is in a language the student does not understand.

23:04:23 [mhakkinen]

Intent of Success Criterion 3.13.2:

23:04:23 [mhakkinen]

The intent of this criterion is to provide extended information that allows users to determine whether a link should be selected, based upon whether the link has been previously visited, by the size of the content to be downloaded when the link is selected, or by the language of the linked content.
